Meet the Dwyer's

Friday May 18th brought the wedding between Brendan Dwyer and Lori Ketelhut. The ceremony was held at Devil's Head Resort in Merrimac, WI. The day couldn't have been any better. The bride and groom looked great!

After the outdoor ceremony time was allotted for pictures as the DJ ran beers out to everyone. Jarvy, Shawn and I are patiently waiting.

No set of pictures is complete without Jarvy jumping into a pic. Alicia and Pete Engle are enjoying themselves. Pete DID NOT enjoy the bird pooping on his arm during the ceremony though.

It was a fantastic evening. Congrats again to Brendan & Lori!

Another month...

I'll post more often...you'll see!

May 15th brought another volleyball season. The team is call The Cutter's and we play at Joe Senser's Bar & Grill on Tuesday evenings. The team consists of Justin Kruse, Christy Wells, myself and some of Christy's friends from law school. Sounds like Shawn might play from time to time as well. Hopefully we won't embarrass ourselves.

May 5th-9th I was in Montreal, Canada for work (the annual FFTA Forum). Minus a trip to Tijuana and Rosarito Beach, Mexico this was really my first time out of the United States. All in all it was a great time. Some observations - the convention went smoothly; the weather was fantastic; the women were beautiful; the beer prices were very steep (too much Labatt Blue); the Quebec french language was a bit difficult at times but everyone spoke English so it all worked out. If I ever go back to Montreal I think I'm bringing a date. The city, especially Old Montreal, had a romantic feeling to it.

May 1st was the date that Alicia's coworkers from Christopher & Banks had a going away party at Champp's in Plymouth. Alicia had been with C&B for more than five years in many roles. She has decided to take her career in another direction. She is now working as an auditor for SuperValu Inc. through APEX Analytix. I wish her luck!

April 30th kicked off another year for the "We Try Hard" softball squad. Check out our progress online: http://web.mac.com/houledesign/iWeb/Houle%20Design/Softball%20Central.html

On the evening of April 28th Dwuz and Polly had an engagement party in White Bear Lake. The party was fun. It was good to meet some of the people that Jarvy and I will be in the wedding with. Congrats to the happy couple! Below is a file photo of Dwuz and crew...

The morning of April 28th was spent at Anton's place watching the NFL Draft (thanks for allowing all the testosterone in your place Anton!). The NFL Draft is seriously one of my favorite things to watch! With the 7th overall pick the Vikings drafted Adrian Peterson - RB, Oklahoma. I think it's a GREAT pick! This man is going to be a star. Go Vikes!

More coming soon. I promise!
